After being served with a narcotics search warrant and later fleeing a traffic stop, a Texas man took off on a 30-minute long police chase, streaming his attempted escape on Facebook Live.

"It's not something I've seen in my career here in law enforcement, however, it's the sign of the times," Pasadena Police Officer Jessica Ramirez told Houston's KPRC. "Everyone posts everything on social media nowadays."

During his Facebook stream, a smiling Erasmo Hernandez said "I'm gone forever, man."

Hernandez is facing charges for felon in possession of a weapon and evading arrest. The stream can be used against him in court.
